Hello Creek Run Tribe!
Hello parents and campers! Welcome to the second edition of the 2017 on-line Trail Talk, Camp Creek Run’s summer camp newsletter. We had a fun-filled week and we hope you did too!
Pickup Trash!
The Litter Critter strolled through the campground this week with some pep in his size fifteen paws. He led the kids around the common area picking up any extra litter that could be found. The LC is an old friend of Creek Run who reminds our kids to leave a place better than you found it!
Activities Galore!
In the afternoons at the Upper Camp, kids get to pick from many activities three times a day. Every year we have camper favorites such as arts and crafts (Judi), archery (Keith and Adam), Pottery (Jen), and many more. This year we have lots more science and nature experiences for everyone. Aubrey is creating all kinds of interesting concoctions and Helena and Jaimie are scouring the farm and trails. Remind your kids to try a new activity everyday!
Olympic Fever!
The entire CCR Tribe got in the spirit of the olympic games as we mixed up the villages into nations. led by village chiefs, the campers toured the campground and participated in many amazing and challenging events. Jello the Guinea Pig carried out the torch and the games began with much frivolity. To add to the excitement, we added a hard fought hula hoop, donut eating, and cheese puff catching events. It takes a lot of energy and fortitude to make such an event possible. Thanks to all of our staff for keeping our special camp days so astonishing!
One Nation!
Our Leaders In Training campers created an awesome mosaic out of torn paper this week. Each camper and staff was asked to write down what their ethnic heritages on a piece of paper (ex. Irish, Columbian, Nigerian) and sign the paper. The LIT kids gathered the red, white, and blue papers and designed them in the shape of an american flag. The great thing about Camp Creek Run is that we look at everyone as a part of our tribe. Just like we as Americans should accept all people from around the world into our great country. The flag is posted in the front of the camp building. Take a close look soon! Well done, campers!
